TIYAK na super merry ang Christmas para sa RnB king na si Jay R matapos mapabilang ang kanyang kanta sa isang international movie.
His single “L.O.V.E.”, na kabilang sa album na “Elevated” na orihial na isinulat ni Marcus Davis, ay napili bilang bahagi ng soundtrack ng romantic comedy movie na “The Bounceback” na pagbibidahan nina Shemar Moore, Bill Bellamy at Nadine Velasquez.
Nakasama pa ang ASAP Sessionista sa red carpet premiere ng pelikula na ginanap sa TCL Chinese Theater last December 6.
“It’s a dream come true for me. Any artist would love to be in a soundtrack that’s part of a Hollywood movie,” pahayag ng ASAP Soul Sessions crowd favorite. “Yes, this is the first time my music will be part of a Hollywood movie.”
Ang kanyang tagumpay ay tiyak na malaking achievement sa kanyang karera na dulot ng matinding pagsisikap sa mga nagdaang taon.
Pero paano nga ba napansin ang 35-anyos na singer ng movie’s film production?
“I had no idea that they were eyeing my song for the movie. They just saw that L.O.V.E. was perfect for the scene in the movie. There wasn’t any audition. They just choose and score the movie with music they see fit for the film.”
Sakabila nito, JAY R gives the credit back to his US-based producer friends for giving his song the needed exposure.
Jay R also hopes to do a promotional music video for the movie, and write and record new tracks again with his Los Angeles-based team.
This success can also open more opportunities for the singer-songwriter to further experiment with his music. He adds, “Yes, I would love for my music to be part of local teleseryes and local movies. That would be great.”
